Hi,<br><br>I've made a portable version of TeX Live 2008 on my USB disk. To achieve this under Windows 2000, I made a clean installation (basic scheme) with install-il and install it to C:\. <br><br>Then I copy everything to USB disk and add the perl script 'install-tl' and tl-portable.bat to the root to make something liks this:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">bin\<br>readme-html.dir\<br>readme-txt.dir\<br>temp\<br>texmf\<br>texmf-config\<br>texmf-dist\<br>texmf-doc\<br>texmf-local\<br>texmf-var\<br>tlpkg\<br>install-tl<br>README<br>tl-portable.bat<br>
</div><br>Now if I run tl-portable.bat, I'll get a command line with which I tested pdflatex, it's ok; also I use tlmgr to install several packages not included in basic scheme. So for now, latex and pdflatex seems to work as expected.<br>
<br>However, the first thing I can imagine before using XeTeX, is to see which fonts are available, then immediately I got this:<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">TL H:\texlive\2008>fc-list<br>Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file<br>
</div><br>and the same error with fc-cache.<br><br>I checked, there is a fonts.conf file in h:\texlive\2008\bin\win32\conf, but it seems to be invisible to this portable vision. After all, I tried to compile a file using default font with xelatex, it works, so I think the compile engine is correctly install, but it's blind to font changes. <br>
<br>I'd like to have your help, thanks!<br>--<br>kmc<br>
